“I told him there is going to be a day when we’re going to be together again,” she says. “As the days go on, I know we will have time to talk through all this. I have been trying to hold my composure and do what I needed to do, and then be able to grieve.”

It’s not just the young ones who need solace. Jill, 20, who’s studying to be a midwife and had been charting the baby’s growth and heartbeat, is devastated.

“She was crying and weeping last night,” Michelle said at the memorial service for Jubilee. “I hugged her and said, ‘I am holding on, and I am going to let the tears go. We can pray, cry and grieve together in the weeks and days we walk through this.'”
